On August 14<\/span>th<\/span>, 2022, a Georgian-language Facebook user published a<\/span> video<\/span><\/a> of former American President Barack Obama with the following title: “Obama: It’s a good thing we have a lot of Elton Johns in the military.” The fragment of the video has a Russian voiceover in which Barack Obama is asked if he knows that there are many homosexuals serving in the American army. According to the Russian voiceover, Obama answers that he is aware of what is happening in the American army and notes that American artists, Elton John and George Michael, are “f*ggots”, while the fighters in the American army true homosexuals.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Russian voiceover of the disseminated video does not match the original audio.
